Speccaton of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 18, 1917.

Application filed September 17, 1917. Serial N o. 191,764.

To all 'whom it may ooncem:

Be it known that I, HARRY C. HENDERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Griddle- Greasers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to implements for greasing griddles, sauce-pans and other utensils employed in culinary work, and has for its objects the production of an implement which is adapted for more economical production and more convenient and etlicient use, and which is more simple and durable than similar implements heretofore produced.

In constructing this invention a frame is provided, carried by a suitable handle; and having a cross-bar of such length as to be adapted to support a strip of fabric of the desired width. A loop is hinged to said cross-bar, and suitable fabric is wound around said loop and cross-bar so as to form a greasing pad. The size and shape of said loop being such that the pad will not pass through the frame when said loop is swung around the cross-bar, and said loop is so hinged to said cross-bar as to suitably resist movement with relation thereto.

An embodiment of this invention is shown in the annexed drawing, in which like reference characters denote the same parts throughout, and in which- Figure 1, is a perspective view of a griddle greaser embodying my invention, with the greasing fabric shown transparent.

Fig. 2, is a perspective view of a griddle greaser similar to the one shown in Fig. 1 resting in a grease pan especially adapted for use therewith.

The handle 1 is made of material which is a poor conductor of heat, and has firmly secured thereto the spindle 2 carrying the frame 3.

The cross-bar 4 forms one side of the frame 3, said frame and the spindle 2 consisting of a single piece of wire, of suitable size, and formed into the desired shape.

The portions of said wires which form the spindle 2 may be disposed parallel to one another as shown in Fig. l, or may be twist-ed as shown in Fig. 2.

Another piece of wire is so bent as to form the loop 5, the ends of said Wire being formed into rings so inclosing the cross-bar 4 that said loop 5 may swing around said bar as a pivot.

The loop 5 is so formed that the rings at the ends thereof tend to spread apart a distance greater than the length of the bar 4, so that, when in position upon said bar, these rings will tend to frictionally hold said loop against rotation around said bar by pressing against the ends of the frame 3 which extend from said bar.

The loop 5 is of such size and shape that, when hinged to the cross-bar 4, it will not swing through the frame 3.

The greasing pad 6 is formed by winding a strip of wicking or other suitable fabric around the sides of the holder formed by the cross-bar fl and a part of the loop 5 which is parallel therewith.

The method of using this implement is obvious, and it is evident that the fabric may be conveniently renewed.

Changes may be made in the form and construction of the various parts of my invention without departing from the Spirit thereof, and I therefore do not limit myself to those employed to illustrate this invention in the annexed drawing and hereinbefore described in detail.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

l. An implement of the class described comprising a cross-bar, a loop hinged to said cross-bar, and a strip of fabric secured to both said cross-bar and said loop.

2. An implement of the class described comprising a wire so bent as to form a frame, a suitable handle into which the ends 0f said wire are secured, a second wire formed in the shape of a loop the ends of which encircle a side of said frame, and a strip of fabric so wound around parts of said wires as to form a hinged pad.

3. An implement of the class described comprising a rectangular frame so formed of wire that the ends of said Wire extend a suitable distance from one side of said frame, a loop hinged to the other side of tion to said frame to an extent sucient to said frame, and a strip of fabric inclosing effectively prevent such movement during :.i parts of Said loop and said frame. the ordinary use of said implement.

4. An implement of the class described In Witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe 5 comprising a frame, a loop hinged to said my name, this 12th day of September, A. D.,

loop, said loop being formed so as to frictionally resist movement thereof with rela- HARRY CHARLES HENDERY.
